Author's Note: Well, I already had this chapter done but I had to work some more on it, so here's a new chapter. Two in one day, ha-ha.
Kenichi stood on the wide roof of a mall building, Twill standing next to him. They both looked exhausted as they both readied themselves to fight. Kenichi kept the dark blue book open while Twill was ready to jump at any moment. Around the two were large smoking black spots as well as weirdly shaped holes.
"What is with these guys?" Kenichi said. "They're too strong."
"I'll never except this demon's reason to become king," Twill said through his teeth.
Their opponents grinned while they walked closer to Kenichi and Twill. The taller figure held a magenta spell book that released a lot of light. The figure's mouth opened to yell the spell.
"Twiru!" Kenichi yelled before his opponent yelled his spell. The gem on Twill's chest glowed and the blast of swirling white and black fired out of it.
"Why am I going out for you, Twill?" Kenichi said while the two walked around a crowded mall. Twill held a bunch of white and black clothing while Kenichi held a bunch of other bags.
"Your mom gave you money and told you to buy me clothes," Twill answered.
"That's what I'm so confused about," Kenichi said. "One, that mom came back early without dad and allowed you to live with us. Two, that she told to me to buy you clothes. Lastly, that you really seem to like black and white stuff. I mean, you just bought stuff that was black and white, not just white or black, but both."
"I have high standards," Twill told him. "It has to be black and white or I don't like it. I don't like my book because it's dark blue."
Kenichi looked at the dark blue book that was in his free hand. "True, it is blue but your spells are black and white."
"That's because of my power of the dawn twilight." Kenichi was about to ask Twill about that but felt someone tap his shoulder.
"Excuse me, but where did you get that book?" Kenichi turned around to see a gentle-looking guy that looked to be seventeen. He wore a pure black school uniform, the jacket unbuttoned showing his white shirt under it. His blonde hair was wavy but ended in a slight curl. He was smiling as Kenichi stared at him.
"This book?" Kenichi asked showing him the spell book.
"Yes, that one," he said still smiling. "Where did you get it? It looks very interesting." He held out his hand. "May I look at it for a minute?"
Twill stared at him intensely. Kenichi felt Twill's stare and stepped away from the man.
"May I see it?" He asked again. Kenichi felt something was wrong about his smile, like it was forced. Twill could also feel something about him. Something making his knees weak. Twill, however, kept staring at him.
"Kenichi," Twill said through his teeth. "Don't give it him, he's a book owner."
The guy's smile instantly faded and became a frown. Kenichi could now feel the pressure Twill was feeling. His knees were weak and he felt he had to listen to everything he said.
As if out of nowhere, a child appeared from behind him. The child was slightly taller than Twill. His straight grey hair went down to his shoulders. He wore a leather jacket and tight jeans, making him look like a tiny biker. His arrogant look made Twill somewhat angry.
"No use tricking them, Taki," the child said. He chuckled "They're too smart for that."
"Yeah, they're too smart, Kallo," the man Taki smiling. Both Kenichi and Twill clenched their fists.
"These two are making fun of us," Twill told Kenichi.
"I can see that, Twill."
Taki turned around and pulled a magenta spell book from inside his jacket. "We'll be on the roof. I expect you two to be there as well in less than five minutes. Any later and I might feel the urge to take out my anger on the mall."
"Better be there," Kallo said smirking. The two walked away to the roof of the mall.
"This is bad," Kenichi whispered.
"I know."
"No, I mean, where are we going to put your clothes? We can't just leave it here, someone could steal them."
Twill sighed, shaking his head.
"You're ten seconds late," Taki said with his arms crossed, the magenta book being held in his right hand. Kallo stood next to him, copying his partner's pose. The two stared at Kenichi and Twill, now walking out to the roof. Kenichi kept the dark blue open, ready to cast a spell.
"We had trouble with something," Kenichi told Taki.
"Finding a locker to stuff our things in," Twill whispered.
"Be quiet," Kenichi whispered.
Taki opened his magenta spell book and took a deep breath. His book began to release light.
"Wapra!" He yelled. Kallo lifted his hand and a ball of distorted air fired at Twill and Kenichi. The two moved out of the spells way, the ball hitting where they were. Kenichi looked at where the ball hit and noticed that the surface of the roof was warped.
"Those spells will be dangerous if they hit Kenichi," Twill said looking at the warped part of the roof.
"Look at him!" Kenichi yelled. Twill turned around, the gem on his pointing at their opponents. "Twiru!" The gem on Twill's chest glowed brighter and a blast of white and black fired out of the gem. The spell shot towards their opponents.
"Wapra!" Taki yelled again. Kallo swung his arm at Twill's spell, his distorted ball of air hitting the bottom. Twill's spell blasted towards the sky, disappearing as it fell back to the ground.
"Go, Kallo!" Taki yelled. Kallo grinned and jumped at Twill. Kenichi and Twill was surprised how fast he appeared in front of them. Kallo grabbed Twill's hair and slammed him into the floor.
"Lancia Wapra!" Taki yelled. Kallo threw his arm in the air, a magenta lance forming in the air above him.
"It's over!" Kallo yelled throwing the lance at Kenichi. Twill, however, yelled and grabbed Kallo's feet. He threw Kallo over, changing the direction of his lance. Kallo threw his lance into the wall a distance away from them. The wall the lance hit began to warp and distort, breaking when it had twisted too much.
"Twiru!" Kallo jumped away from Twill before his fired his spell out of his gem. Twill fired his black and white blast into the air, the spell again disappearing as it fell.
"Too weak," Taki laughed. "Looks like you just entered the battle. Must mean you don't have much spells. Not many options if you don't have a lot of spells." The magenta book in his hand glowed brighter. "Lancia Wapra!"
"Twirashield!" Kenichi yelled in response. A swirling whirlpool shield of black and white appeared in front of Kenichi and Twill. Kallo threw his magenta lance into the shield. Kenichi expected the spell to be reflected but instead, the lance began to pierce his shield. The lance broke Twill's spell, making a explosion. Kenichi protected the book and the two were sent flying into floor.
"Really weak, guys," Taki said, sounding disappointed.
Twill was the first to get up. When he did, he stared at Kallo. The demon wondered why Twill was staring at him so intensely.
"What's your reason to fight to become King?" Twill asked.
Kallo looked confused by Twill's question but he smiled. "That's easy. To become king just for fun. Becoming king doesn't mean anything to me, I just don't want to be bored. Even this battle, all it's doing is satisfying my urge to have fun."
Twill was angry now. "That's your reason!? To have fun!?"
"Of course," Kallo said, appearing in front of Twill. His fist slammed Twill into the ground.
"That's right, Kallo," Taki said smiling. "This battle is only fun for someone like me. Why go through boring life when you can get something as exciting as this?"
